REX Women in Construction | Impostor Syndrome Workshop | Birmingham
About this Event
Networking, pastries & a confidence workshop tackling imposter syndrome for women and allies in construction & retrofit.
REX: Women in Construction is back with one of our most requested workshop topics.
Following fantastic feedback from our previous session, we're bringing back our Imposter Syndrome in Construction & the Built Environment workshop for those who couldn't attend the first time, as well as anyone who would like to revisit the conversation and continue building their confidence.
REX: Women in Construction is a welcoming networking event bringing together women and male allies working across construction, retrofit and the built environment.
Some of you may know it under a previous name: She Builds Birmingham. Hosted by Jessica Shuker during her time at South and City College Birmingham, the community has continued to grow through REX, creating a dedicated space for connection, support, honest conversations and industry collaboration.
Taking place at the beautiful Medicine Bakery in Birmingham's Mailbox, expect a relaxed and supportive atmosphere with meaningful networking, fantastic conversations, tea, coffee and incredible pastries in one of Birmingham's most loved venues.
Workshop Theme: Imposter Syndrome in Construction & the Built Environment
Back by popular demand, this facilitated workshop led by Jessica Shuker explores the confidence challenges many professionals experience throughout their careers, regardless of experience level, job title or background.
Together, we'll explore:
- Confidence within male-dominated industries
- Overcoming self-doubt and internal pressure
- Recognising achievements and professional value
- Managing difficult workplace dynamics
- Building supportive networks and community
- Practical strategies for growth, visibility and confidence
The session is designed to be conversational, supportive and engaging rather than overly formal, creating space for shared experiences, reflection and honest discussion.
The reality is that many of us experience imposter syndrome, but very few people talk about it openly. This workshop gives us the opportunity to have those conversations, learn from each other and realise we're often far more capable than we give ourselves credit for.
Jessica Shuker is a qualified teacher with a strong background in industry engagement, education and women-focused initiatives across construction and retrofit. Through her work, she is passionate about creating spaces that support, encourage and empower women working across the sector.
What to expect:
- Facilitated workshop session on imposter syndrome and confidence building
- Networking with women and allies across construction, retrofit and the built environment
- Tea, coffee and pastries from Medicine Bakery
- Opportunities to build new industry connections in a relaxed environment
- A supportive and welcoming atmosphere
